Thanks to Boris for the heads up.
The ’80s action classic Predator is getting the reboot treatment from 20th Century Fox.
But before some purists cry foul, they should know that this reboot comes with an interesting attachment: Shane Black, the venerable screenwriter behind Lethal Weapon and writer-director of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Iron Man 3.
Black will write the treatment for the project, then will hand over scripting duties to Fred Dekker, his university chum with whom he wrote 1987’s Monster Squad. Black will oversee the writing and is also attached to direct.

IMO, they have been failing to make a descent Predator movie for decades. Even AVP was awful. I don't know why, but they just can't seem to get it right. I hope this new movie will be better, but I'm not counting on it.
ReplyDeleteShane Black already announced, that it's not going to be a reboot, rather a sequel. Which is a good thing. We just have to forget about AVP.
